The great room is the heart of the home, with dramatic ceiling height and glass walls capturing sweeping, long-range views across the Blue Ridge Mountains. Kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together in a beautifully resolved open plan, creating a sense of volume, light, and connection to the landscape.

A geothermal heating and cooling system taps into the very earth to provide exceptional efficiency and year-round comfort, while the water filtration systems, integrated whole-house vacuum and sophisticated but ergonomically sensible lighting systems provide an ease of living. A short walk leads to private Eagle Lake, a pristine 32-acre mountain lake reserved for the community and offering swimming, paddling, and fishing, along with a private beach, playground, covered picnic pavilion, trails, and open recreation areas.

Cascading waterfalls flow through a meandering stream into a tranquil pond, all supported by a large concealed underground cistern that serves as the primary reservoir and maintains a consistent water level while continuously recirculating the water that enhances the property's peaceful mountain setting. The inviting living room features exposed beamed ceilings, warm hard wood floors, and a natural stone gas fireplace. The beautifully updated kitchen includes custom cabinetry, a copper farmhouse sink, antique Honduran mahogany countertops, and a convenient adjacent laundry area. The spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, distinctive leather flooring, and a king bed, opening to a private bath with double vanity and a sleek tile-and-glass shower. Two additional bedrooms, located on the opposite side of the home for privacy, share an updated Jack-and-Jill bath with an antique vanity and copper sink. One bedroom includes a queen bed, while the other features a queen Murphy bed and antique desk. Set on nearly one acre, the outdoor spaces create a true mountain retreat. A rocking-chair front porch overlooks a charming fountain, while the rear screened porch enjoys views of the beautifully landscaped backyard, fire pit, barn, and chicken coop. A winding path leads to a whimsical shed and hidden cellar. Evenings are best spent around the fire pit, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the cascading waterfalls and gently flowing stream that feed the pond beside the barn. The barn itself offers endless enjoyment—from basketball to games and a loft retreat with a TV and premium Tornado foosball table. Professionally landscaped grounds and mature trees further enhance the property's exceptional beauty. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, the home includes a stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, washer and dryer, Level 2 EV charger, and multiple smart TVs. The crawlspace has just been fully encapsulated. With minimal steps, excellent cell service, and a state-maintained road, accessibility is effortless. A proven rental history with no rental restrictions makes this a rare and compelling Highlands offering.

1411 Flat Mountain Rd, Highlands

$90,000

Mountain views and an easy build site set the tone for this 1.51-acre homesite in Sims Valley, positioned at over 3,300 feet to take full advantage of short- and long-range vistas with selective tree trimming. Gently rolling and naturally wooded with a mix of native hardwoods and mountain flora, the terrain offers a clear, uncomplicated path to building — an increasingly rare quality in the mountains, where steep slopes often dictate both design and cost. Along one boundary, the homesite adjoins more than three acres of community green space, creating a quiet sense of separation and extending the feeling of space beyond the property itself. Located just east of Lake Glenville, between Cashiers and Cullowhee, Sims Valley is a thoughtfully planned community defined by its natural character. Preserved green space, a network of trails, and a centrally located clubhouse with fitness center, pool, and gathering spaces are intentionally integrated into the landscape rather than imposed upon it. From this setting, days on Lake Glenville are just minutes away, while Cashiers offers a refined mix of dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Across the Plateau, the lifestyle is shaped by cool mountain air, scenic elevation, and an easy balance between outdoor recreation and relaxed sophistication.

Lot 57 Sims Valley, Glenville

$415,000

Privately situated at the top of Blue Stone Trail overlooking the peaks and valleys of Christmas tree farms all around. Every sunrise arrives differently as the seasons turn, best appreciated from the rocking chair front porch or through the floor-to-ceiling windows that draw the landscape directly into the living area. Tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, rich wood floors, and a large stone fireplace anchor the interior, while the open floor plan keeps the atmosphere light and easy throughout. The primary suite features a walk-in glass shower, and the guest suite offers a full tub and shower combination. Mossy Hill's grounds are as considered as the interior — beautifully landscaped garden beds with roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, hostas, and boxwoods surround the home, joined by a crab apple tree and plum tree just below. Generous outdoor space for recreation rounds out a property that functions as well as it feels. Happ's Place is five minutes away, and The Local — along with the nearest market and gas station — is seven minutes out. Downtown Cashiers is within ten minutes. Just beyond that same stretch of highway, High Falls Trail leads to a series of waterfalls through some of the most scenic terrain the Plateau has to offer. Offered turnkey and fully furnished.
